The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tired of his crown, Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King and celebrity master of fright, would give it all up for something different. So, convinced there's more to life than spooky tricks and mischief, the gangly Bone Man wanders away from his perpetually grey and miserable home, only to stumble upon the vibrant Christmas Town. As a result, dazzled by the colourful community's festive euphoria, Jack embarks on a challenging mission to explain to his ghoulish compatriots what they've been missing out on life. Suddenly, Halloween is very passé. Now, Christmas is all the rage. But as the well-meaning Bone Daddy misunderstands the true meaning of Noel, horrible mistakes threaten to blemish the Pumpkin King's take on Christmas Eve. After all, no one has ever told Jack that nobody does it better than Santa.—Nick Riganas
